Meaning:

There's No Place Like Home means that you feel that your home is the best place to be. 

"Ahh, finally home, there’s no place like home."

Origin:

This well-known idiom has been around for a while, with its first written history in 1781; it appeared in the English newspaper The Bath Chronicle it read:

But this maxim mind -
No place like Home
For safety will you find

 

However, there is also other occurrences of this phrase throughout history. In 1823 there was a song called "home sweet home" written by John Payne and Sir Henry Bishop the song has these lyrics:

 'Mid pleasures and palaces
Though we may roam,
Be it ever so humble,
There's no place like home.

And of course, in the 1939 movie Wizard of Oz when Dorothy clicks the heels of her ruby slippers together and utters the phrase, 

"There’s no place like home.”

Example:

Today we still use this phrase to express, it is good to be in my home and that is it a place of comfort and relaxation. An example sentence is:

“After a long business trip, it is nice to be back; there is no place like home.”
